Wednesday Walks (4-17-13)

April 19, 2013

This week was the second Wednesday we've taken a walk around our neighborhood taking in what spring has to offer, but instead of venturing around in just our neighborhood, we ventured out a bit more and looked for nature in other places as well. Here's a break down of our Wednesday Walks for yesterday.

We found a hidden camp site back in the deep parts of the woods. I wouldn't want to be in this camp when the water of the creek starts filling the "trail" again this summer though.

The leaves of the dandelion on edible, so I welcomed this pest to my yard.

When we returned from our hike, I noticed new growth and realized it's time to clean up the yard.

Then it rained.......of course.

But then the sun came out.....Oregon, pffft....typical.

It was a great Wednesday Walk.

Eco-Tip: Sort through clutter in your home during the spring and get rid of anything not being used for more than 6 months. Downsizing is a great way to go green and live a simpler life. Also look through cleaners in your home and replace them with eco-friendly varieties instead. For this and other tips on going green visit, The Earth and Me Go Green.
